Splurge On It
Andy Warhol X Dom Perignon Pop Bottles: $150 each

The story behind these bad bottles, alone, is worth the Splurge: Unlike past brand collabs (DVF swimsuits, Bond No. 9 perfume,to name a few), Warhol had a connection to the champagne label. In 1981, Andy had a show in Munich. When he came back to New York, he wrote about the wild experience in his diary, “where he spent a night with a group of twenty guys called the ‘2,000 club,’ who planned to ‘buy 2,00 bottles of Dom Perignon which they will put in a sealed room until the year 2,000 and then open it and drink…’” Ooh, Y2k. Makes you wonder if Andy’s diary was anything like Terry’s…

Designed by students at Central Saint Martin’s School of Art & Design (in London), the bottles come in three variations. The pop bottles are the same price as a regular bottle of Dom, but you’ll have to wait til October 15th.
